Great Shredder...Definitely an upgrade!
We replaced a pretty "old" Fellowes shredder with this version and it is so much better. We are in an office of 7, but only about 3 of us use the shredder on a daily basis. It is quite and shreds very nicely. Would definitely recommend.

Does not last
This shredder started jamming and then slowly little pieces started to break off. I have half of the blades now and it can only shred on the right side. This is not a good experience with this shredder. This is not worth the price for how long it last and how quickly I began experiencing problem with it.

Worth the Extra $$
Only has been used a few times since I received it, however I am quite glad I spent the extra $$ for the micro-cut over the cross-cut, which I had last. It is quite a bit quieter, and seeing it cuts much smaller, you don't have to empty the bin as often, it probably holds twice as much as the cross-cut. So far very please with my purchase.

46Ms Choosing The Right Shredder
Cut Type:
With Identity Theft concerns at an all-time high, the need to protect personal information is more important than ever. And these days, it’s no longer just what you shred that matters—it’s how small you shred it. Shredders with a smaller cut size will help keep your information secure long after you dispose of the particles. The smaller the cut size, the higher the security level.
Productivity
Shredder productivity goes beyond mere sheet capacity or speed. When shopping for a shredder, consider the machine’s throughput, or the efficiency with which it can get the job done. Throughput combines the three most critical features that contribute to a shredder’s performance
Sheet Capacity x Speed (feet per minute) x Duty Cycle = Throughput
For example, a shredder that can handle 15 sheets may seem more productive than one with a 14 sheet capacity. After all, it can shred more sheets at a time! But as the example below illustrates, Shredder B is actually two times more productive than Shredder A, due to a faster shred speed and a longer duty cycle. This means you can get more done at one time, so you can quickly move on with your day.
| Model | Sheet Capacity | X | Speed | X | Duty Cycle* | = | Throughput |
| Shredder A | 15 | X | 4 FPM | X | 15 min on | = | 900 sheets |
| Shredder B | 14 | X | 11 FPM | X | 12 min on | = | 1,848 sheets |
*Duty Cycle is the amount of time a shredder can run continuously before needing a cool-down period.
Quality and Durability
We understand that a shredder is not just a purchase. It’s an investment. That’s why Fellowes drives quality assurance to exceed expectations. Prior to launch, all Fellowes® shredders are subjected to extensive field and laboratory tests, including our proprietary continuous abuse test and long-term wear. These tests simulate years of abnormally high use to ensure our products perform reliably, even under the most demanding conditions.
Our promise to you is supported by a commitment to offer the most innovative solutions, exceptional product quality, and first class service and support.
